So I've had this game for years. Litteraly. Sitting there. Taunting me. I've played it but simply given up at points where I just found the game too unforgiving.
But I have always returned to it to try and take up the challenge once again.
These couple of days has been just that.
This time around has changed though. I have found an willpower, a level of patience in myself that I thought did not exist. And I am so glad that I have found this. Because this game rewards you tenfolds back if you are patient with it.
I will not spoiler the following as it's quite an old game. This boss fight has been the greatest gaming experience I have had in a long time (and for you hardcore Demon/Dark Souls players, pls don't laugh at me):
I have been stuck at Stonefang 1-1, the spider boss. Repeatedly trying to kill that damn thing but not being able to succeed.
First attempt ended with me actually going into the lair avoiding the fireballs but then panicking and getting crushed by the spider.
Second attempt was a heartbreaking one. An attempt that would have had me quit again a couple of years ago. I had the spider at 1/4 of it's health but it managed to one shot me in some weird way. I was broken.
Third time though, I would finally get my revenge.
I prepared myself infront of the vortex field (or whatever it is called), putting turpentine on my weapon, equiping my shield and going in. This time I would be patient. I would calculate the timing of the attacks and proceed accordingly.
The battle went on for what felt like half an hour. I dodged it's attack and only hit once everytime it attacked to be completely sure that I would not get caught by surprise by some of it's moves.
I fought and dropped it's health down by a little margin for every attack. I found a little breathing room to replenish health when it was winding up it's fire breath attack and continued my tactics.
The final moments was the most exciting and at the same time disheartening moments in my gaming life. I was at only a fragment of my life. Litteraly a little slice of my life. The spider was winding up it's fire breath and I knew that if I didn't act now I would have been doomed. I FUCKING CHARGED AT THAT SON OF A BITCH AND SLASHED AT HIM WITH ALL OF MY (INDEX FINGERS) MIGHT AND HE WAS DEAD. I had finally done it. He was dead. I could proceed.
I'm so fucking excited right now. I love this game.
